Does this mat freeze well? I haven't seen anything about using it in the freezer.

Although I've never put this particular mat in the freezer, I have some silicone muffin pans that I've used to freeze soups and desserts in. They (the soup or dessert) pop out easily and are then either served (desserts usually) or put in a freezer bag for later use. There's never been any damage or problem with the muffin pans, so I doubt there would be any problem with the mat.

Yes, you can place them in the freezer and freeze them with out a problem. You can even use the mats in a microwave. They're very durable (and versatile).

I also discovered the base comes apart when I got water in it after cleaning. I am also curious to know if freezing water inside will help ice cream solidify a little more quickly. I don't see the harm in trying it, so if I do get around to trying it, I will do my best to post a response about it.

I have had no problem with freezing in Mylar. Similar to vac-n-seal. I also vac pack the Mylar.

Have not tried it.Do not know if it would become brittle in the freezer, but they are cheap enough that you could give them a try. If it does not work out you can still use them for many other things.If it does work in the freezer let us know. An interesting use.

I have used it in the deep freeze and left it in there for months and never had a freezing problem,my freezer is set to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's OK if it freezes. It's a very durable product as long as you don't overfill it it works the same frozen or not.

We have two in our outside kitchen. One does not have a freezer. The second one does have a freezer and is not self defrosting.I would suggest short time use for that freezer.. We use it for company, filled with Ice Cream Bars, etc. It does good for that.Please allow me to add..It was my mistake with counter install. Should have allowed installers to place it more from directsun. This outdoor product does a great job dealing with the temp. changes in our yard.

I have frozen it and it has worked well for me. I use it frequently enough though that most of the time I keep it in my pantry and it stays fresh if the top is sealed.

I can't imagine it being terribly effective to freeze - it is so thin (1/8"/3mm) that it would thaw very quickly. It would also be incredibly stiff if you did freeze it, and I think you would risk breaking the PVA material if you froze it and then tried bending it.

Yes, I use them all the time in the freezer. Two things to be careful with, do not fill all the way to the top because any water in the food or liquid will expand while freezing, and do not put into hot water right away, let it thaw. Glass breaks when it goes through sudden temperature change. I have not had a single problem. To me the extra steps with glass is worth it, because it doesn't absorb odors and it doesn't permeate into the food like plastic.

We have no problem with keeping the bowl in the freezer all the time. We get it out and use it, putting it back in again ready for the next time. Thank you.

Ice pack does freeze solid. As for using it in your cooler, I'm uncertain as to how long it will remain solid. I'd suggest just trying it out. However, I think it might work. My use of it is for therapy purposes, and I would highly recommend it for that. It's better than any locally sold.

It is not a problem if it freezes. You don't full it up completely so when it does freeze it is not damaged. When frozen it sits well in the bed and does not shift.

I only use it for hot in the microwave. I can tell you that it is a moist heat and would think it would get wet. I wouldn't use it in the freezer personally. That being said, I love this wrap and I am very glad that I got it.

It hasn't been an issue for me. If you take the frozen tray out, it is still useable, and smaller, but the you loose your chill factor.

I haven't tried in the freezer but it feels if you waited for it to cool it'd be fine. As for the lid I'd recommend putting plastic wrap directly on top of the good then the lid just as an added precaution. My dogs have tried getting the lid off but haven't been able to so its pretty tight.

The Chilly Mat works by the gel creating a lower temperature than your dog's body temperature, making it feel cool to them. It can also be placed in the refrigerator or freezer for a short time before your dog is going to use it. However, some dogs are sensitive to that much of a temperature change and may not like it super cold.
